Melissa Arthur, Group Biodiversity Manager for Persimmon, is passionate about protecting our environment and has outlined some of the ways we can all embrace sustainability in our homes, especially by reducing the amount of plastic we use.
Plastic pollution can have lasting effects on biodiversity in our seas, rivers and on land by disrupting species’ feeding and breeding cycles. Animals can often mistake plastic debris for food leading to digestive issues and starvation. Plastic bags can often smother plants making it difficult for them to access sunlight, oxygen and essential nutrients and effecting the animals that rely on them. Plastic pollution has become a worldwide environmental challenge, but there are lots of simple ways to reduce plastic use at home.
Whatever you can do big or small will make a difference in reducing plastic waste and help our environment thrive for years to come.
Choose your ideal location, explore our homes, and find a place you’ll love.
